When boring Bernice visits her extended family, her glamorous cousin Marjorie decides to make her over, if only to keep her from being a drag on her social life.

Tony Award winner Blythe Danner, who played Zelda Fitzgerald in the telefilm F. Scott Fitzgerald and "The Last of the Belles," performs this unabridged reading.
